The performance analysis of computer systems is as yet a rather unstructured field in which particular aspects of systems or items of software are studied with the aid of various forms of models and empirical measurements. Kimbleton develops a more general approach to this problem using three primary measures of system performance. The approach to be described here represents a similar philosophy but deals only with throughput as the measure of system performance. This restriction results in a model which is convenient and practical for many purposes, particularly in batch-processing environments. It is hoped that this approach will contribute to the development of a common perspective relating the performance of different aspects of the system to the performance of the whole.
